After spending several years in production hell, The Wolf of Wall Street has finally hit our cinema screens. Leonardo DiCaprio and director Martin Scorsese's tale of corruption, greed and excessive lifestyles, based on Jordan Belfort's book, is certainly attracting a lot of attention. Telling the true story of Jordan Belfort, a wealthy stockbroker with an extravagant lifestyle who finds himself caught up with the FBI due to his involvement in crime and corruption, has divided audiences and film critics around the world. With attacks on its use of animals, 'glamorisation' of drugs, portrayal of women and its excessive swearing, it has certainly caused controversy. However, some people absolutely adore it, including the Academy nominating it for a number of Oscars, including Best Film, Best Director and Best Actor.

How I Met Your Mother has fallen into disfavour following
their latest episode; Slapsgiving 3: Slappointment in Slapmarra. As the title
might suggest, it’s the one where Barney gets his fourth slap. What was wrong
with the episode? It’s been branded racist as it portrayed three of the main
cast (Robin, Lily and Ted) dressed as characters from kung-fu movies.

American Apparel have apparently forgotten that the point of
mannequins is to show off the clothing, as they’ve recently decided that their
mannequins need to be the part people focus on. So they’ve slapped pubes on
them.

Prices can be pretty high these days, you can’t always
afford everything you want. We get it. That’s why haggling is a thing; it
pretty much never works, but occasionally you’ll get a couple of quid knocked
off just by asking. Or so we hear, we’ve never actually seen it happen. But a
man in Manchester liked his chances and thought he’d try asking for £1 off when
he tried to buy 2 bottles of beer.

Repeatedly is probably an understatement. This guy called
them 30 TIMESover the course of 4
hours to let them know the ins and outs of his sexual endeavours. How bombed do
you have to be to think it’s a good idea to call emergency services for 4 hours
about what you get up to in the bedroom? Surely if you’re drunk enough to think
that’s a great plan, you’d be too drunk to actually execute it…

Blimey,
what a year! Without a shadow of a doubt my most active 365 days in terms of
cinema visits ever. Indeed, I forked out a small fortune in tickets to go and
see some of the most hotly-anticipated movies of 2013, as well as some of the
smaller flicks. Was it worth it? Of course!

Edward Bunyan and Indira Gainiyeva (both 16) recently ran
away from their boarding school, causing their families much concern as no-one
knew where they were. They’ve been extremely concerned about the safety of
these two teens, as you’d expect.
